Knauf Earthwool™ 1000°F Pipe Insulation with ECOSE® Technology is a molded, heavy-density, one-piece insulation made from inorganic glass fibers bonded with ECOSE Technology. It is produced in 3’ lengths with a factory-applied jacket. ASJ Plus jacketing is the newest generation all-service jacket composed of aluminum foil, reinforced with a glass scrim bonded to a kraft paper interleaving with and outer film layer leaving no paper exposed. ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary binder based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals such as phenol, formaldehyde or acrylics. ECOSE Technology reduces Knauf binder embodied energy and contains no phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors found in traditional fiber glass insulation. Earthwool 1000° Pipe Insulation with ECOSE Technology is used in power, process and industrial applications and in commercial and institutional buildings where maximum fire safety, resistance to physical abuse and a finished appearance are desired. Additional weather protection is needed outdoors. A low thermal conductivity of .23 at 75°F (24°C). Available with self-sealing lap, which eliminates need for staples, additional material and tools. Installed properly, the foil vapor retarder and pressure-sensitive lap assure a positive vapor seal. All Earthwool 1000° Pipe Insulation, plain or jacketed, meets the fire and smoke safety requirements of most federal, state, and local building codes.
